PPG Optigray®
23 Optigray® 23 is an advanced-formulation PPG glass that expands the aesthetic and performance options available in the popular gray color family. Optigray®23 glass is a gray tinted glass with a warm bronze undertone and improved solar control properties. Optigray® 23 glass maintains desirable light transmittance -21% in a one inch insulating unit�while blocking 67% of the total solar energy, for outstanding heat load reduction. The shading coefficient is one of the lowest of any architectural tinted glass product: 0.33 for a one-inch I.G. unit. Optigray® 23 glass helps reduce the air conditioning load in a commercial structure, which means the interior environment can be controlled effectively with smaller, less costly HVAC systems. Optigray® 23 glass provides another topnotch solution to energy management needs in a gray color option. To obtain even more impressive performance while maintaining the desired aesthetic of Optigray® glass, it can be combined in an insulating unit with an inboard lite of a Sungate® Low-E coated glass or a Solarban® Solar Control Low-E glass (see performance tables in this presentation). 
PPG Graylite® 
With its bold, almost-black look, PPG Graylite® glass is the solution for applications requiring reduced solar heat gain and a specific aesthetic objective. Graylite® glass combines superior heat load reduction and solar control with a distinctive color contrast. Its shading coefficient is among the lowest of any uncoated glass: 038 for a one inch insulating unit. Daylight transmittance is 12%, making it ideal for glare control and privacy glazing. To obtain even more impressive performance while maintaining the desired aesthetic of Graylite® glass, it can be combined in an insulating unit with an inboard lite of a Sungate® Low-E glass or a Solarban® Solar Control Low-E glass (see performance tables in this presentation).

facades that make a visual statement, while maintaining energy efficiency
and occupant comfort.
Solargray®Glass Solargray®Glass has been a popular choice for commercial structures because of its cool light-gray appearance and ability to control solar heat gain and glare. Solargray® glass in a one-inch insulating unit provides a visible light transmittance of 40%. Its light gray color makes Solargray® glass an attractive choice, combined with almost any other exterior cladding material. Solarbronze® Glass The warmth of its bronze tint has made Solarbronze® float glass a favorite glass solution for commercial buildings. Solarbronze® glass reduces solar heat gain and glare while providing a visible light transmittance of 48% in a one inch insulating unit. Solarbronze® glass imparts a subtle richness from the exterior and adds a warm glow to interior decors without noticeably influencing true color. To obtain even more impressive performance while maintaining the desired aesthetic of Solargray® glass, it can be combined in an insulating unit with an inboard lite of a Solarbronze® Low-E coated glass or a Solarban® Solar Control Low-E glass (see performance tables in this presentation).
